New STYLE Drivers.

A new kind of driving wheel has recently
been invented for locomotives. The wheels
instead of being perfect circles are made
with great number of straight sides, so
small as to be scarcely perceptible to the
eye The idea is that the straight surfaces
bearing upon the rails will increase the
amount Of friction derived from the ordinary
curved surface and decreased the loss of
power by the slipping of the wheels A
syndicate has been formed to manufacture
the wheels and it is reported that locomo-
tive equipped with them will be tried on the
Boston and Maine road this summer.
